NOVEL WEB But soon after she lied down, there came a rat-a-tat at the door.
“Who is it? Come in.” She was interrupted unexpectedly, Murong Qingyan was surely not in a good mood. So, she said that in an impatient tone.
Soon, a little servant girl came in. When she looked at Murong Qingyan’s expression, she was scared and looked down at once, not daring to take a second look at Murong Qingyan.
At one time, on no account would she scare Murong Qingyan, but now things were completely different. After the family competition, no one in Murong family looked down upon Murong Qingyan. She was the person who had beaten the famous Nangong Ye after all so, her strength was self-evident.
Moreover, many people still remembered the scene where Murong Qingyan beat Murong Qingxue heavily in the ring. Lots of them were worried that they might be taken revenge by Murong Qingyan someday.
However, they didn’t know Murong Qingyan had never taken them seriously.
“What’s the matter?” Murong Qingyan frowned when she saw the girl come in timidly. She wasn’t a tiger. Why was the girl so scared?
She didn’t know she was more scary than a tiger in the girl’s eyes.
“Miss, master asks you to come.” The little servant girl answered.
“Actually, master was looking for Miss these days but in vain.” They all wondered where she went so, master had them pay attention to her yard. When seeing the light in her room on, master immediately sent for her. So, this poor little girl was assigned with the task to pass on the message.
“I see.”
Murong Qingyan wasn’t hard on the little girl and she instantly stood up and went outside.
Seeing Murong Qingyan leave the room, the little girl felt relieved. She was so nervous just now even though Miss had never mistreated her or even scolded her. Compared to meeting master, she was even more stressed when she was faced Miss.
Murong Qingyan walked into Murong Xiong’s study with ease. Almost every time Murong Xiong called in her in the study. Last time Murong Xiong met her also in the study.
Murong Qingyan directly opened the door and let herself in when she arrived. The guard outside seemed to have gotten order before so, they didn’t stop her.
Murong Xiong was waiting for her when she came in.
“Here you come.” This was the first time Murong Xiong talked to Murong Qingyan calmly. At first, he thought he would be furious with her, but after thinking this matter over and over for a few days, he became calmer.
Seeing Murong Xiong’s attitude, Murong Qingyan felt a little surprised. But she said nothing and sat down opposite Murong Xiong.
She had no idea what Murong Xiong called in her for, but she didn’t think it would be a good thing. Because Murong Xiong would never share any good thing with her, she knew him too well.
“I wonder what master calls in me for.” Murong Qingyan initiated the conversation.
Hearing what Murong Qingyan said, Murong Xiong frowned and snapped in a low voice, “What? You need to call me grandfather.”
“So, grandfather, do you have something to tell me?” Murong Qingyan didn’t care what she called him.
But hearing what Murong Xiong said, she still sneered in mind, she had called him master a long time ago. If Murong Xiong really treated her as his granddaughter, he should had said that long ago. Now Murong Xiong had the attitude to her merely because she had beaten Nangong Ye in the family competition.
“Cough cough–” Murong Xiong cleared his throat and said, “Today I call in you for what you did in the family competition. Why did you say that after you won the game? Do you know what you did will make Nangong family hate us!”
Although Murong Qingyan won the family competition and obtained an honor for Murong family, Murong Xiong was dissatisfied with what she had done after the competition.
“Ho ho! Why can’t I do that?” Hearing Murong Xiong said in a voice full of reproach, Murong Qingyan sneered, “Nangong Ye can insult me and why can’t I insult back?”
She was well aware what Murong Xiong was angry at, which was the cancellation of the engagement to Nangong family.
